Despite the introduction of DVI and HDMI®, the common VGA connection is still the primary connection for most computer monitors.

This double-shielded cable is designed to handle analog VGA and extended VGA resolutions. It features gold-plated male DE-15 (aka HD-15 or DB-15) connectors on each end for smooth, corrosion-free connections. It includes ferrite cores at each end, which ensure that EMI and RFI interference will not enter your video system.

This cable is CL2 rated, which indicates that it complies with fire safety and insurance standards, making it safe for use through or within the walls of residential class buildings.

I bought this a couple of months ago to view my Gateway laptop's video through my Samsung 37' LCD tv. I really only needed 30 ft, but figured for just a few bucks more I could get 20 extra feet just in case I needed it down the line.

Pros: Awesome price! The quality is still good at 50ft. The picture is crisp and clear on my HDTV.

I have this running from my macbook (with a Mini-DVI to VGA bought from Apple, before I found out about monoprice... Ugh) to my 50" Samsung and the image quality is fantastic! I recommend monoprice to anyone I know installing anything that requires cables...
